Question 109062: A bald eagle snatches a fish from a lake and flies to an altitude of 256 ft. The fish manages to squirm free and falls back down into the lake. Its height h in feet can be modeled by h(t)= 256-16 t squared, where t is the time in seconds. How many seconds will the fish fall before hitting the water?

Question 112443: I had a word problem on a test involving Matrices, determinants and Cramer's Rule. I looked through all of my notes, and did not see anything on word problems and the text book was very vague. My professor created the test himself. We were to use a system to solve this word problem:
A boat on a river travels downstream between two points, 20 miles apart, in one hour. The return trip against the current takes 2.5 hours. What is the speed of the current of the river?
My Answer:
x - 20y = 1
x + 20y = 2.5
Using elimination of the y-term 2x = 3.5
x = 3.5/2
